Default Daily Beater- 2003 Corvette Z06

Got out of the Honda game- fun while it lasted- but nothing can compare to the out of the box performance of this car.

03 Z06 bought it with 25,000 on the clock. So far Ive taken off the Side Mouldings and lowered it on the stock bolts. Other than a Vararam and factory chromes its pretty much stock. I already feel like i need it to be faster though and ive only had it 2 weeks haha....ive caught the bug

Sorry for the crummy pics



Already at the track.....




Decent pics from the other night....

Great car, I'm sure you are enjoying the heck out of it

If you are looking for the next step LG pro tubes, for real.

Yeah thats as low as it will go without cutting or completey removing the front bolts and in the rear cutting the bushings or buying the C6 bolts.

LG Pros are on the list- i have on order HID's, shorty antena, and black housing front turn signal housings.

Save yourself some $$ and get Kooks long tubes. I got mine for less than $1200 shipped from Byunspeed, an LS1tech sponsor (and CF too).

Long tubes on this car are a night and day difference. I only have a street tune right now, but I can tell you the difference is like boosting a Honda.

PS I took out a Gallardo last night from 0-80...he was on 100 octane too.

Go order long tubes tonight, seriously.

your talking about on your machine and not the silver one up there right? the silver one says he's lowered on stock bolts and ive seen as low as the silver one and tad bit lower on other cars on stock bolts as well..

be careful with her..and keep us updated.

The silver one is Toque's car on CF and I'm 99% sure he has either the front bolts removed completely or C6 bolts in the front with longer bolts in the rear.

Yeah theres no way hes on the stock bolts. His car is sick though. Ive heard good things about the Kooks as well but i think im gonna go with the LG Pros with off road xpipe. I already have a vararam once i get the LTs im gonna get a tune.

The only thing I don't like about LG Pros is their retarded clamping system, it just seems retarded to me to band clamp the whole exhaust.

The hatch had nothing on this car. My hatch had TEIN SS and skunk 2 sway and Spoon strut bar so i mean the suspension wasnt too extensive on it but it could still corner pretty well. The Z06 though is just a whole different monster even stock. Braking, Acceleration and cornering is so awesome- i smile every time i drive the car haha.

To be fair, it's also packing half the tire and 1/3 the power.
